Mussenden Temple
Celebrate one of the North Coasts most breath taking land marks with this elegant Mussenden Temple tea towel from my North Coast & Countryside collection. Perched dramatically above Downhill beach where I worked on Game of Thrones as a hair & make up artist. the temple has become a much loved symbol of beauty , scantuary and inner peace.
Built by the Bishop of Derry in 1783 Fredrick Hervey a gift to his niece as a peaceful little library . It was intended to be used by her as a place of quiet reading and reflection. She was surrounded by the most extraordinary panoramic views of the sea, sky and coastline.
The painting captures that same feeling of calm and wonder , paired with the gentle Irish blessing
“ May , Joy and Peace surround you & Contentment latch your Door “ A heartfelt sentiment wishing warmth, happiness and comfort within your home . Whether gifted as a keepsake from a memorable visit or chosen for someone beginning a new chapter in life , a marriage or togetherness this tea towel brings both the tradition of an Irish Blessing and the soothing spirit of the North Coast .
